Did they provide a new MOT? If so take it back to the garage and demand it replaced under warranty. I know MOT only actually states the vehicle was OK at time of MOT but for an exhaust joint to break less than a week after an MOT is carried out means the inspection was poor as this sort of thing should have been spotted.

I'd state that an exhaust breakage should be covered under a 3 month warranty.

It is physically impossible for an exhaust to break in three days meaning they sold it either knowing it was about to go or they didn't notice either way it should be covered as it now means the car is undrivable in it's current state take it back and tell em if they don't fix it you want your money back

It would be wear and tear for exhaust unless the car is brand new. And its not impossible for it to break in three days it only takes seconds for them to break if they are already worn/old.

May not be covered by the warranty, but surely as a gesture of goodwill they would sort it for you, how old is the car and what did you pay? as these are factors to take intro consideration.

If no joy then do what I have resorted to on encountering poor service, hang around and tell potential customers of the service you have received, I did this to the orange shop when they refused to deal with a phone which was in warranty, stood just outside the doors telling all customers entering, they ended up calling the police but as I wasn't on their premises and was telling the truth they refused to get involved. Ended up with a better phone as replacement and a £10 top-up as compensation to get rid of me.

Make sure when you go back to the garage-today would be good .
Loots of people around.
Ask nice and say what will you do about this prob.
If they say nothing.
Get louder and louder and watch as all the other buyers start to leave lol.

your not having much luck with this car, if the car had an mot recently they may have advised there was a problem with the exhaust (corroded,small pin hole leak etc. ). check you mot paper work, if the vt20 pass certificate says there were advisories issued but you had no advise sheet with it, you can check on-line what they were. As a few have said exhausts are regarded as a consumable item, but i grant you should have possibly lasted slightly longer then you have had it, polite but firm word with the garage should get you sorted or at least a goodwill gesture from them ask them about your power steering pipe as well.

took it back and been replaced free of charged, had a look on the internet and
1 FE874 CENTRE PIPE £66.60
1 FE950 BOX WITH TAIL PIPE £88.20
1 FE873 FLEXIBLE PIPE £92.70
All available exhaust parts £247.50
